yes. because he's a good player who will be on a contract year.
millsap was giving us a lot of problems in that series to the point where bertans was unplayable while he was on the floor, and rudy, while being "off" most of the series, was out there out of necessity. morris could have given us a solid answer there. in a 7 game series, morris could have been the difference over the aggregate. he's not a nothing.
No WojBomb or ShamWow right now will Twitter being down...
I wonder if the Knicks had gotten a committment out of Nephew on June 30 if we would have passed the physical.
Come to think of it, they said they were not going to give Durant a full max due to his injury.

When you can play for a franchise that all the time is competing and prefer money against stability and be part of a winner culture you know the kind of player he is.
LMAO. Now they're not saying the the problem with Bullock is definitely plantar fasciitis. But there was definitely some kind of problem, and we know he's had some plantar fasciitis in the past. Really... there's a problem. Not a big problem that makes us not want to sign him. Just enough of a problem that makes re-working his contract necessary.
Seems like maybe too many people were questioning that concrete plantar fasciitis diagnosis.

As of Thursday afternoon, the Knicks believed that obtaining Marcus Morris as a free agent and re-working Reggie Bullock's deal was a likely scenario, per SNY sources.
There remains mutual interest between the Knicks and Bullock to negotiate a new deal after a medical issue hampered their original agreement, sources said.Bullock's agent, David Bauman, and the Knicks continue to work together on a new agreement for the six-year veteran.The medical issue that caused a hiccup is unclear, but Bullock has dealt with plantar fasciitis in the past.
Yeah, it's bull . What's the conversation at this point?LMAO. Now they're not saying the the problem with Bullock is definitely plantar fasciitis.

Knicks: "So, uh, forget the twenty mil you agreed to and take ten instead."
Bullock: "No."
Knicks: "You're about to die from plantar fasciitis, we're being generous here. Real mensches we are."
Bullock: "Here's an opinion from another doctor saying I am good."
Knicks: "So, uh, forget the twenty mil you agreed to and take ten instead."
The team that beat them got swept by the Warriors who didn't have Durant for the entire series. No, no difference. 2nd round isn't the goal. We've been there.

if the choice is between first round or second round, its a pretty easy call to make. i mean, why bother making any moves if you aren't a championship contender. always strive to improve. i mean should we turn down a trade where we'd get davis for aldridge just because you dont think it makes us a championship team?
Knicks and Little Richie have to be waiting for the Spurs to use up the MLE or take the deal off the table.
It won't happen but the league should really step in and fine the Knicks. Not only are they screwing over another team by poaching a verbally committed free agent once they realized they were not getting what they originally wanted, they are screwing over a free agent who's opportunities are drying up because of them trying to be too cute by half.
Morris is no angel here but the Knicks look the worst of the lot.
Didn't Bullock's people say the Knicks were being 'mensches'? Suggests something really was wrong, like NY legit could have walked away. Dunno.
Mensch is a compliment. I know, it sounds like an insult but it is not
Bullock is so screwed. Other than the Spurs having the full MLE, I don't think there are a whole lot of teams left who can pay him anything more than that Room Exception the Knicks are now offering. I'm sure they played on some technicality during the physical (if they didn't just fabricate the whole thing), but if he accepts the Room Exception he has to admit he has a medical issue. If he refuses, and they don't want him at all, if he won't take the reduction, any place he tries to go play is going to be worried about his medical condition.
Right now, that Room Exception is probably the best he can hope for this season.
Not when it is said with sarcasm.
That's exactly what they were saying. That the Knicks' organization is going to take care of him, and come up with something worthwhile.
If he's really that damaged, it seems to me like the full Room Exception would be good for him, and they would get the deal done in a day. The fact that they haven't says to me that he's not happy with whatever they've offered.
I honestly don't know how much of a "mensch" they can be. The Knicks can't legally pay him more than the Room Exception. There's not a of a lot to figure out, within the rules.
If the underlying medical condition is nothing, next step is litigation.
Still have Charlotte and SA with full MLEs.

Yes. If Bullock was on board this would've been wrapped up by now.
I didn't know who else was left. His options are a lot more limited than they were when he made his deal with the Knicks.
Think about it though. If he reaches out to either of those teams, they're going to demand to know what was wrong with his physical. The whole thing is messy at best.
Can Bullock force Knicks to honor the contract if he passed the physical? I think Bullock will not concede especially when he already knows Knicks trying to lowball him, which would make it impossible for Knicks to sign Morris
They can if they honor their original cap room offer. Pretty much everyone knows this is BS.
